The MAGIC of AUGMENTED REALITY-- Create Your Own!

The magic of augmented reality… Create your own!
Some of you have seen the awesome example of AR- “augmented reality” we shared in the library (The Fantastic Flying Books… ) you focus your iPad on a page in the book and it comes alive - the “reality” (page in book) is “augmented” with technology. AR blends real life with virtual reality.
 There is a wow factor - but what about the “so what?” Now we - teachers, students can create our own augmented reality experiences! Easy as 1-2-3! I see sooooo many amazing possibilities for learning. It’s hard to imagine it if you have not experienced it. Stop by the library for a tour!
